Max and his girlfriend were extremely warm and accommodating to my friend and I. Max picked us up and dropped us off at the metro and was right on time. The food was very authentic and nothing short of spectacular. Warning though, there’s a lot of courses and the portions are hearty so pace yourself so you can enjoy everything! The chicken dish, pollo alla cacciatore, was the highlight of the meal. Also, Max’s choice of wine was a fantastic red and we made it through two bottles throughout dinner. These are great people with great stories and food! Can’t recommend dinner at Max’s highly enough. Grazie from Jacob and Claudia!

Description

I was born in Rome and have lived almost all of my life here. My flat is just 5-minutes by car from Vatican City. It’s furnished in a classic Italian style and has a cosy atmosphere.

I love to cook, especially traditional Roman and Italian dishes, and I’m often entertaining family and friends in my apartment. This is your chance to join us!

I’ll cook you a 5-course meal using homegrown vegetables from my garden as well as other seasonal produce. Here’s an idea of the menu but remember that it changes each month and also can be altered to suit your dietary requirements.

Antipasto
Olives and nuts / prosciutto / bruschetta / croquettes / suppli

First course
A plate of pasta with pesto, ragu, or carbonara sauce / spaghetti all'Amatriciana / spaghetti con le cozze / telline

Second course
Meat or seafood prepared according to traditional recipes

Third course
Seasonal vegetables prepared in a traditional way

Fourth course
Lettuce, tomato, fennel, cucumber and rucola salad with olive oil and aceto balsamico

Fifth course
Ice cream / seasonal fruit / cake / tiramisu

After dinner I’ll take you to a special place where you can see fireworks!

Awesome Evening!
Had a very delicious, Italian home cooked dinner with Max and his girlfriend. Max selected some great wines for our dinner. Great conversation and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. One of our best meals in Rome!! Definitely a “Must Do” !!!
Max was delightful
We had a great time with Max enjoying a home cooked meal and nice conversation. This was a very different experience that we took a chance on, and it paid off. If you are in Rome and want something unique to do - have dinner with Max!
